tuneglue Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi mate, used your tactic in 14.2.1 with Napoli, totally fluid, 4+ stars staff, great pre-season with 9 amicals match with satisfying results, but it didn't really work. Played against 6 teams in Serie A, won 3 lost 3. Most of the time the opponent had possession, we had more chances but they failed oftenly. The tactic is more efficient Home but really struggling to impose our game Away, even against small teams like Chievo where I lost 2-0 with the same number of occasions than they had. Results were more satisfying in CL where I won 1-0 againt Basel home in a very tight match and won at Benfica Stadio de la Luz once again in a match that could have been both sides. Just wanted to give you my feedbacks, I don't know if 14.2.1 had killed it, didn't had time to try it for 14.2.0, but anyway good job man, keep it up and hope you'll build a killer tactif for the new patches. Peace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiegolf Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi Viking, Quick question, do you use a right footed player on AML and left at AMR? I'm assuming the ideal would be to have both as two footed? Tactic still working btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Hi guys, I don`t think there was any changes to the ME with the hot fix they released? Couldn't find any in the changelist. Have you all tried a attacking mentality with a very rigid system? Also try shoot less on the AM. And yes, left footed on the right side and right footed on the left works like a charm, either footed is perfect - same goes for the AM If you are struggling with the possession you could try to lower the tempo a bit or try holding the ball up.

cipriang80 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Doing very well at the time with a mid tier Romanian team. Will post screens once i get 20 games in. If odds are close i start with "Standard" and as soon as i start dominating i switch to "Attacking". Preseason, loaded the tactic in all 3 slots and set team training to "team cohesion" on Very High and Pre-match on tactics only. It's almost fluid after 3 months. Thank you for sharing!!!

Time_Consumer Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm enjoying this tactic very much, Suarez is killing it! I enjoy the role the Anchor Man is playing as well, he actually acts more like a very deep and aggressive playmaker. Finally a successful tactic that is not heavily relying on possession and short passing. Two things i'm trying to work out though: 1. Sometimes the left back seems to be a bit left alone, probably due to the CM pushing up so high. I'm trying to put him (the CM) on a support duty, will see if it sacrifices too much offensive power. 2. The Strikers seems to be the only regularly scoring player. I'm gonna try to put the right IF on a attack duty, the anchor man and relatively defensive full back should be enough to cover him. Will see if it works. You tactic is great as ist is though, thanks mate! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent had that much of a issue on the left back to be honest, as the central defenders tend to drift over to the backs and cover. 2.

King Costly Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Anybody else find this tactic is pretty useless at home? Decent results away but home results seem to be pretty average at best.

dibbo79 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 This tactic is excellent Got to the 1/4 of the Champions League with Celtic in my first season, 1/2 in the second and lost the final in the third Currently started a new save with Dortmund and I am 7 points clear with 7 games to go and have a 1/4 final against Barca to come I know Dortmund isn't exactly a test but the results with Celtic are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tactic is great as ist is though, thanks mate! Made this change and my right IF has 3 goals in the last 2 games, well done. Enjoying this tactic immensely. Installed it mid season with Cambridge in the Skrill Premier and 7-1-2 since I did, with one of the two losses coming in the FA Cup to a League 1 side.

jamiegolf Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Viking, Just to keep you informed I have won back to back promotions with Notts County and am now approaching a season in the championship.......its very nice to be popular with the board and fans for a change so thank you very much for a very productive and consistent tactic. Important to note that I have only spent £50k to achieve these promotions! Maybe a little off topic but do you know any good threads on team talks? I would really like to master these as taking a big interest in this side of the game now. If you haven't downloaded this yet....DO IT! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eple Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 This is a very good tactic. Have been using it with Villa since mid 2nd season. Currently sitting 1st in the league with a few games left, and in the semis in the CL. Most of all I'm impressed with how solid it is defensively as I've struggled to make sense of it until now on this patch. Conceded 18 goals in the league in 33 games so far this season (as opposed to 58 and 50 in the last two). It does frustrate me at times though, as the potential of the attacking players seems to go unfulfilled frequently. Basically, if my striker is not firing, I'm prone to draw or loose unless I score from set pieces. The AM is very often just a passenger and adds very little in terms of goals or assist. I've tried changing him to a trequartista which resulted in a slight improvement, but I think the problem is mainly down to the narrowness of it. There is no space for him to do anything. The IFs are very often the same. They rarely score or assist for me. I've been tempted to remove the narrow instructions and play wider, but it seems to result in a more frail defence. If anyone can find a way to get something more out of the attacking players this tactic will go from great to fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twizted_seed Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I am getting a huge amount of yellow cards with this tactic. Now don't get me wrong, 3 seasons in the A-League and all of asia is my bitch but after about week 7, I have about 1 player missing through suspension per week. My croatian DMC is particularly bad for it. Is anyone else having this issue too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FulhamFc14 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 This was working pretty well for me first season and I went unbeaten over the last 15 games that I used it. Since I've started the next season though I've been really inconsistent, tending to lack possession or have less shots than the other team. I've gone from being runners up in the PL last season to 5th and 9 points off the top after ten games, seem to be conceding a lot and not scoring many (have tried tweaking a CB to cover and also tried playing attacking and very rigid). Any ideas? Was really enjoying playing 4-2-3-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.midt Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 how is this tac working on 14.2.2? tried it With Burnley and followed instructions second season in prem With no success at all.. hammered first two games With full fluidity.

Baptista_8 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Pretty new to FM 2014 and love the 4-2-3-1 so gave this a go. Had a pretty indifferent 3-4 months with Napoli, but I've made a few tweaks and I'm on a great unbeaten run. Changed the right DC to cover as suggested, changed the MC to Support and the AM to Advanced Playmaker Attack. Changed a few instructions as well, removed play at high tempo. Can post my full list of changes if people want to know. One thing to note while I was using it as default my creative freedom wasn't at full so maybe that hindered it. Hamsik was really struggling previously in the AMC slot but he's on fire now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baptista_8 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'll post them when I get chance mate, probably on Saturday. Default - I mean the tactic in this thread as it was downloaded (as default). When you click on familarity of the tactic it shows creative freedom out of 100. This increases as you get used to the formation. The changes I've made though got me a really good run, but I also had a few indifferent results towards the end of the season and only finished third, so it doesn't guarantee anything.

bobani17 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Anyone tried swtiching the place of the midfielders? so the one on left sits deeper? The reason im wondering is that if i have two 4-2-3-1 tactics, and i want to switch between them, i dont want the players to en up in the "wrong place"... and in order for that to work i would need to change this one so the DM is on the left instead of right... anyone been tinkering with that? does it mess up the tactic?

Can I also ask what you mean about default and creative freedom? Sorry for the delay. So yeah, I changed the right DC to cover, the MC to support and the AMC to Advanced Playmaker - attack. I can't remember which instructions I changed so will just post the whole list of what I use: - Retain possession - Shorter passing - Pass into space - Work ball into box - Drill crosses - Run at defence - Look for overlap - Play narrower - Drop deeper - Hassle opponents - Get stuck in - Be more disciplined I've won two Serie A titles now, and in my 5th season I'm really playing some nice stuff.
